My First Major Stadium Super Truck Wreck... Here's What Happened!!!

If you watch that replay (like I did over and over again), you can plainly see it was a fluke thing and not intentional by any one of them.

[@jimmyb1451]

Dominate? Bro, first two races he was consistently losing time on corners because he was setting up to apex too early and not throttling through the corner. Don't get me wrong, Cleetus is talented, but dominate is a bit of a stretch. The third race he was doing a LOT better, probably because he had open road in front of him or perhaps the looser set up forced or helped him to set up for later cornering... who knows.

[@michaelcrane85]

@@jimmyb1451 Dude jumps in a series with seasoned pros, runs at the front for most of the race. And the first race, (not in this video, prior video) he was in first until the last corner. Jumps in a jet boat competition and crashes out but still posts the fastest time of the day. "Dominate" is relative here, but if youre jumping into a competition full of pros and even being competitive, its quite impressive. We're arguing semantics here. Point of the matter is, very few people can just jump into a race with seasoned pros and run up front.

[@King_Flippy_Nips]

@@michaelcrane85 not even the last corner, it was the last straightaway before the finish line he took the jump just a little off straight and got loose after landing the jump and lost it about 200 feet from the finish line, he had enough of a lead that if he could have straightened it out after the bad landing he still would have won easily.

After watching the second time through I could see what happened. You were aggressively passing, but that's what you have to do on that track. Cleeter did a few fairly aggressive passes yesterday that I was a little surprised with. It's obvious you hit that slickened track that got your back end over into Cleetus and the rest was the two of you trying to come out of it. An inch one way or another and it easily coulda been you on your side instead. Like Cleetus said at the end of the video, was aggressive but well within sportsmanly behavior, especially picking up the tab that night. All's well. Was great fun watching you both, on the track and off.

Our boy Cleet! The man who can drive anything. Could you imagine if he put all his efforts into one event? I love watching all of it, but damn he would be scary if he was focused on one thing. Side note: What he's doing for all of racing is phenomenal

[@TobyCatVA]

HELL YEAH BROTHER! You stemed the eff out that truck! You got the talent. You just need to put in the time and the cash and it will come to you. Some of those laps were perfectionism personified.

[@TheDja209]

The time constraints seems to be the real issue here. Being such a long track, with cameras at every corner. Certainly someone mentioned the oil in that corner before the wreck. It wasn't until Cleetus mentioned it during the red flag that they put speedy dry down to clean it up. If you watched the stream, the very next lap that they come through the same corner, you can see all of the speedy dry being kicked up into the air. I don't blame the drivers at all, being aggressive is part of racing. This was mistake made by track officials(if they have those) by not cleaning it up sooner. Tough break, but I hope you reach your goal of finishing your first at Bristol and can't wait to see the live action!

[@TheRogan321]

I agree. also the reaction time to get out to the crash concerns me.

[@chrishenry571]

Yep, they were in a hurry and didn't want to clean it up. Ol Cleeter hit the wall the first lap after the caution because the track was oiled. But it was clear they were jamming this series in this weekend.

[@produKtNZ]

Wasn't there indy cars on the same circuit prior to this race? Somehow I bet the oil would have been cleaned up immediately and enthusiastically the very second tyhe last car ran through it....

[@tazeat]

@@produKtNZ yes but Indy was delayed two hours already due to lightning which made everything late and rushed to get going I assume
